Context for United States: The United States regulates online gambling state by state, not nationally, so an offer on this page is only claimable if you are physically located in a state where that operator holds a licence - most US states license no online casino or poker at all. Check the state, not the country. The Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement lets state-regulated poker operators pool players across state lines; as of April 2026 its members are Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Nevada also requires an online operator to partner with an in-state casino, keeping its poker market small. SWEEPSTAKES CASINOS ARE A SEPARATE, RAPIDLY CLOSING CATEGORY: dual-currency sites (Gold Coins to play, Sweeps Coins redeemable for cash) are being banned outright, not regulated, in a growing list of states including Montana, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, California, Nevada, Maine, Indiana and Oklahoma. Sources disagree on the exact total, so check your own state rather than any single figure - and note these laws can reach payment processors and affiliates too, not just the operator.
